The Blessings of the Animals by Katrina Kittle
4.0
Title is mildly deceptive in this thoughtful read about social attitudes towards marriage. Why we get married and stay married along with very real issues as to why couples break up is at the center of questioning this age-old institution.
Here there is a core story of a long marriage dissolving for no obvious reason. But there are other relationships that present other scenarios. A vet who seems to collect abused animals must grapple with feelings of desertion and then charting a new life course. Her friends and family have their own problems, from cancer, affairs, never finding a partner and more.
It’s a rather compelling read that makes it clear that marriage is hard work, not to be taken lightly.
